Answer:
Child age start pray
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide,
and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.

Regardless of what it takes to inspire ones own self to
be a better muslim, or come closer to their Lord Creator, or align their lives
to the guidance of their Lord Creator..be it a dream, or some affliction or
experience of life, etc.there is absolutely no harm. In fact, whatsoever it may be, if the end
result of that experience is that one decides to amend ones conduct and align
their lives to the guidance of Allah and His Messenger (saws).Allah is our
witness sister, that is the absolute best thing that might ever happen to them!

Sunan of
Abu-Dawood Hadith 495 Narrated by
Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As
The Messenger of Allah (saws) said:Command
your children to pray when they become seven years old, and enforce (beat) them
for it (if they refuse to pray) when they become ten years old.
The Messenger of Allah (saws) guided the believers to
encourage their children to start offering their prayers regularly when they
reach seven years of age, and enforce the prayers strictly upon them by the age
of ten..so that the children form a habit of offering their prayers unto their
Lord from a very early age.
The age when a child becomes and will be regarded and
considered an adult in Shariah, and the age when one will be responsible for
the deeds one does or does not do in the Presence of Allah Subhanah is when one
crosses the age of puberty..generally accepted as approximately 12 years.
Your
Question: ..im also worried about the prayers i have missed
